And I dare say this kind of thing is not helping, also a big shortage in the USA and Canada:

And yes I really do want to smack that silly pout off the reporters face...

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to Hidden]

Do they use hydroxocobalamin in Canada? I was under the impression they don't.

Still, the article is a classic. Manages to say so much and yet still says so little. Followed by the "diet and exercise is all you need" comments. Maybe not always...

No its a cyano shortage. This is an interesting take on it as well:

Thanks - interesting.

After all, this is America, and people have every right to be swindled by charlatans.

Many a true word...
